Transition Metal Complex Catalysed Photo- and Electrochemical (De)hydrogenations Involving C=O- and C=N-Bonds

Herein, we summarize the photo- and electrochemical protocols for dehydrogenation and hydrogenations involving carbonyl and imine functions. The three basic principles that have been explored to interconvert such moieties with transition metal complexes are discussed in detail and the substrate scope is evaluated. Furthermore, we describe some general thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of such electro- and photochemically driven reactions.

Experimental Electrochemical Potentials of Nickel Complexes

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling and photoredox catalytic reactions has found widespread utilities in organic synthesis. Redox processes are key intermediate steps in many catalytic cycles. As a result, it is pertinent to measure and document the redox potentials of various nickel species as precatalysts, catalysts, and intermediates. The redox potentials of a transition-metal complex are governed by its oxidation state, ligand, and the solvent environment. This article tabulates experimentally measured redox potentials of nickel complexes supported on common ligands under various conditions. This review article serves as a versatile tool to help synthetic organic and organometallic chemists evaluate the feasibility and kinetics of redox events occurring at the nickel center, when designing catalytic reactions and preparing nickel complexes.1 Introduction1.1 Scope1.2 Measurement of Formal Redox Potentials1.3 Redox Potentials in Nonaqueous Solution2 Redox Potentials of Nickel Complexes2.1 Redox Potentials of (Phosphine)Ni Complexes2.2 Redox Potentials of (Nitrogen)Ni Complexes2.3 Redox Potentials of (NHC)Ni Complexes

Organic Photoredox Catalysts Exhibiting Long Excited-State Lifetimes

Organic photoredox catalysts with a long excited-state lifetime have emerged as promising alternatives to transition-metal-complex photocatalysts. This paper explains the effectiveness of using long-lifetime photoredox catalysts for organic transformations, focusing on the structures and photophysics that enable long excited-state lifetimes. The electrochemical potentials of the reported organic, long-lifetime photocatalysts are compiled and compared with those of the representative Ir(III)- and Ru(II)-based catalysts. This paper closes by providing recent demonstrations of the synthetic utility of the organic catalysts.1 Introduction2 Molecular Structure and Photophysics3 Photoredox Catalysis Performance4 Catalysis Mediated by Long-Lifetime Organic Photocatalysts4.1 Photoredox Catalytic Generation of a Radical Species and its Addition to Alkenes4.2 Photoredox Catalytic Generation of a Radical Species and its Addition to Arenes4.3 Photoredox Catalytic Generation of a Radical Species and its Addition to Imines4.4 Photoredox Catalytic Generation of a Radical Species and its Addition to Substrates Having C≡X Bonds (X=C, N)4.5 Photoredox Catalytic Generation of a Radical Species and its Bond Formation with Transition Metals4.6 Miscellaneous Reactions of Radical Species Generated by Photoredox Catalysis5 Conclusions
